|

o Dramatically improved nmap.xsl (used for converting Nmap XML output
|
||||
to HTML). In particular:
|
||||
- Added support for the new NSE pre-scan and post-scan output
|
||||
- Changed script output to use 'pre' tags to keep even lengthy
|
||||
output readable.
|
||||
- Put verbose details behind expander buttons so you can see them if
|
||||
you want, but they don't distract from the main output. In
|
||||
particular, offline hosts and traceroute results are collapsed by
|
||||
default.
|
||||
- Added a floating menu to the lower-right for toggling whether
|
||||
closed/filtered ports are shown or not (they are now hidden by
|
||||
default if Javascript is enabled).
|
||||
- Improved the color scheme to be less garish.

Many small improvements were made as well. You can find the new
